United States Congressman Riley M. Moore has rejected claims that the United States supports any move to break up Nigeria, warning that pushing separatist agendas would worsen insecurity and place Christian communities at greater risk.

Moore made the remarks in a statement posted on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account after visiting Nigeria, where he held meetings with government officials, church leaders, aid organisations, and internally displaced persons. “I have travelled to Nigeria and engaged in multiple high-level meetings with Nigerian officials, the Church, aid groups across the country, and IDPs, to get a better understanding of the rampant persecution of Christians in Nigeria,” Moore wrote.

The lawmaker stressed that the issue of dividing Nigeria did not arise during his engagements. “In my discussions, the idea of dividing the country has not come up in any serious way,” he said, warning that “efforts to embolden separatists hurt Christians in Nigeria, especially in the North and Middle Belt.”

Moore further warned that weakening Nigeria’s unity would have wider security consequences beyond the country.“A destabilised Nigeria would embolden terrorists and make Christians less safe in Nigeria and across the continent,” he stated.

He also pledged continued advocacy for victims of terrorism and insecurity across Nigeria.

“I remain committed to working to save the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ and, for that matter, all Nigerians suffering from the instability wrought by terrorists throughout Nigeria,” he said.

Moore linked his position to ongoing security cooperation between Washington and Abuja, describing the newly signed agreement between both countries as a major step toward addressing violence and strengthening bilateral ties.

“The US and Nigeria have just entered into a security cooperation agreement, and that is an important step in tackling the violence in Nigeria and deepening and strengthening the bilateral relationship between our great nations,” he added

The division of Nigeria is a must, Biafra must be free.






Nigeria without igbo will be a wonderful country.

Can't these people just mind their business and stop being annoying

Is that how we have been putting mouth in USA's issue. USA senators and their politicians should respect themselves

Did you visit the Niger Delta region,and see the misexploitation pioneered by west through shell,agip ,chevron and mobil,or you relax in Abuja to meet with government arrangees meeting with pagans all over the country masquerading as religious leaders,who invited you to the country while not visit Kwara state where people were massacred.

You guys are an unserious joke. Simply let charity begin at home by forcing all Igbos to return to the SE and stay there to turn it into Dubai.

You are just hiding duplicitously behind the name Biafra, as insincere people, to gaslight others and throw tantrums because they don't make you head of everything everywhere as you supremacists seek.

Same way your forebears like Azikiwe and co were busy traversing the SW looking to take over political and socio-economic leadership of the region back then to then be crying "Yorubas are tribalistic" and "playing tribal politics" when resisting your planned enslavement and expansionism into our land.

Nothing has changed because if you are real, committed and sincere separatists, you'd all be 100% be devoted to remaining in the SE to truly transform her with the trillions you claim to have individually instead of fleeing the region in thousands daily for the rest of the world permanently.

Your hypocritical behaviour is the reason no one takes you seriously. If Yorubas began seriously agitating for Oduduwa then lovers of 'one Nigeria', like the North, would begin appeasing us because we already behave like a people comfortable with leaving Nigeria to be on our own.

Facts are facts buddy. You can't state one thing vehemently and your actions/behaviour indicates the opposite to then be taken seriously by anyone.

You want them to mind their business so that Isla mic terrorists will wipe out all Nigerians, right? There are reports that why 170 human beings were mass acred in Kwara is that they rejected the Shari'a law. I have maintained that isl am isn't a religion - it's a terrorist sect!

Recruited by CIA obviously

The only reason the US don't want Nigeria breakup is because, the US stands to benefit more from Nigeria than when it is divided.

Any other thing is just performative.

It is the same reason the Muslims don't want Nigeria to divided either:

This why I always say it is a big club and the people relying on Trump are not part of it.

It is frustration and helplessness.

A man dying from thirst don't mind drinking from the dirt pit.

Anyone relying on anyone are not always part of it.

But when you have no other option but to rely, you bet anything you have.

It is not as if the government care
